    My question, being a current student, how can axel weights of 12,000, 34,000, 34,000 be good and yet be over gross?

    man, you sure asking allot for us to read a thread, then the next thing you know you will be expecting us to understand what we read. Can't you just read it to us and tell us with crayons, and 3rd grade words so that way you will actually know we actually understand what you are reading and talking about.

    I would be happy if for once an OP that starts a thread like this actually came back and followed up with the conclusion.

    I don't blame him for not coming back to it. The stupidity that has shown up in this thread is unreal. Read through it and count how many times the same thing is said over and over. He admitted to making a mistake and people continue to pile on.

    I did read the entire thread. I do understand that tractor trailer combinations all weigh different, so your load max can be greater. The way I see it #80, 000 is #80,000 anyway you divide the load on the axels.

    Since you read the thread and didn't under stand he had a spread axle trailer so he was allowed 40k on the rear 12k+34k+40k puts you over 80k gross.
     
    281ric and MJ1657 Thank this.

    Ok, so this is #86,000. How is this over weight of #81,910?

    You can have 40k on the spread but you cannot exceed 80k. It just gives you some wiggle room with your load.
